Automated Cloud Deployments
Jazkarta creates robust, best practice, automated cloud deployments of our clients' websites. Cloud hosting has the advantage of
- Flexibility - server resources can be resized as needed
- Availability - minimize downtime by distributing server resources
- Affordability - minimize cost by only paying for what you use
We are agnostic with respect to cloud hosting platforms - we choose what makes the most sense for each client and we don't resell or profit from our clients' hosting contracts. We have experience with many cloud technologies, dating back to 2008 when we moved our website to Amazon's cloud computing infrastructure. In the years since, we have worked with many cloud platforms, including Rackspace, Linode, Digital Ocean, Google App Engine and of course Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).
Benefits
No matter the platform, there are many benefits to hosting your site in the cloud:
- Seamless disaster recovery with repeatable deployments
- Easily create and destroy isolated testing servers that are cloned from production
- Pay-for-what-you-use metered pricing
- Launch new clients during peak periods and shut them down when no longer needed
Jazkarta can help you deploy your application or website to the cloud as part of a consulting engagement or support plan. For Django web applications our clients often prefer the simplicity of Heroku, with its easy deployment of Python relational database applications. For deployments of large, complex, or high availability websites our clients are often best served by Amazon's Opsworks application management service, which offers greater flexibility and control.
